now that you have been lectured.....go AI, have them take a few bucks to go out and tell them to not act like an idiot. spring break is not a time to worry about the locals, shift the worry to the college kids. youth and drinks....no different than the states.
Question about safety in PV for 20 and 21 yr olds?

No lecture from me. Most everything has been said so no need to repeat. I will make one suggestion and that was if they are going out and drinking til the cows come home, make sure that one of them stays sober and gets them all back to the hotel safe and sound but then I read your post again and see that there are 14 of them. So if all 14 are going out to the same place I would make sure that 2 stay sober. 14 drunken people is just to much for one person to handle.
Thanks for all the input. I think I saw where you can purchase daily AI after you are at the resort, at least some resorts allow this.
Is the option available at the Buenaventura? How much does it cost?
If they go, they might want to do this a couple of the days and go without the AI a couple of days to check out the local restaurants an shops.
Thanks again for all the input.

As Ronald suggested above, there is a possibility that your kids may encounter someone offering drugs. Although, this could happen in almost any country one visits, not only in Mexico, I have found that many teenagers and young adults falsely believe that possession of drugs in Mexico is no big deal. Maybe, TV and popular movies reinforce this incorrect belief. I have personally seen the police hauling kids off to jail after they were caught smoking pot on the beach, in Puerto Vallarta. As parents, we should all let out kids know the facts; even though they will ultimately make their own decisions.
I have to agree with JB, 100%. There are a whole lot of 20-21-40-60 year olds that do drugs in their own country and have been lucky enough or savy enough how to pull it off without getting caught. So I think what everyone is trying to say is \"its a whole different ballgame in Mexico\". No one is saying anyone is stupid or needs to be told not to do drugs at 20-21 years old.
The only other advice I disagree with in what you said earlier is hanging out on the beach at night after you have been partying in town. The majority of the drug \"problems\", take place on the beach in PV. While you might be safe in a group sitting infront of your resort there are times people decide to take a walk on the beach and that is when you will run into problems. The beaches in PV at night are not a good place to be.
